Description

This desk is crafted from marine plywood and showcases three drawers with brass finishes, supported by three ebonized toothpick legs. The wood has undergone careful refinishing and, despite showing some signs of age, remains in great condition. Produced by Moveis Fratte, a lesser-known Brazilian brand, this piece exemplifies the exceptional wood joinery that flourished in Brazil from the 1950s to the 1970s.
